Maybe your not reading my posts..? I have a Dell H310 in my system, as do a few of my friends. None of us have any other Dell hardware.

And how many different Dell cards have you used with how many mainboards?  My experience with Dell cards is that none of the ones I tried worked except some network cards for Dell servers which do work in Dell servers.  That's why I'm very reluctant to do anything with Dell cards unless I have the Dell hardware to put them in and am not pretending that everything just works fine no matter what.

I have given many useful links to back up my statements. You give nothing but "what if's" and doubt. It's not on me to convince you. 

Does that surprise you?  Some general links aren't going to convince me that altering a controller card in a particular server model is going to work just like that, especially not when the links that I'm seeing in general and the ones that apply to the particular RAID controller indicate that it will be at least difficult or even impossible to get it work.

 

This isn't about convincing, it's about claiming it'll will all work just fine while that simply isn't the case.

@Blue4130well, this has certainly been one of the more strange threads I have been in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
 

I am leaving this one alone at this point. For anyone who stumbles upon this… hopefully you find the answers you need. If you still have questions or concerns, I would suggest looking at the truenas or unraid forums as they have a a plethora of information on the subject of SAS HBA’s and how to flash them, and I can say from first hand experience, it’s not difficult.

 

Happy homelabing!
